I've tried a lot of sushi restaurants in Sacramento, and Satori Sushi & Teriyaki Grill - Natomas is easily one of my favorites. The sushi is always fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. The specialty rolls are packed with flavor, the fish quality is excellent, and the portions are generous. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere, friendly staff, and great service every time we visit.

I went here and got a sushi roll and teriyaki chicken. I spent $30 which is fine I guess. It was not good at all unfortunately and right after I was done eating I threw it all up. It literally made me sick , not sure if it was old or what but it was gross. I will not be back.

Got a bento box and it was pretty good overall. The only downside was that the beef and a few other items cost an extra $2, which normally wouldn’t be a big deal but the portion sizes were pretty small. On top of that, the beef I ordered was under seasoned and overcooked, and honestly didn’t feel like anything special to justify the upcharge.

Also no drink refills, which was a bit disappointing.

That being said, the place itself is nice the food quality is good, and the atmosphere is great. Just felt a little pricey for what you get.

Great food and service. If picking up, get a beer while you wait. The canned beers are great!

Had high expectations for Satori based on recent reviews.

Went in on a Friday at 7pm. It was really busy. The setup inside is kind of weird. Like a cafeteria meets a doctors office. Our waitress you could tell was overwhelmed with tables, but she was friendly and VERY bubbly lol.

What we ordered:

- Bento box with sesame chicken and teriyaki salmon
- A mixed tempura
- Samurai Roll
- Hot Sake

- Sesame chicken was undercooked, and had no flavor or even salt really. It was not crispy as expected.
- Teriyaki salmon had a nice flavor, but it was also under seasoned. The teriyaki sauce as it were, was bland and watery.
- The gyozas were also, surprisingly underwhelming with little flavor. They also needed to be crispier.
- The mixed tempura was oily and also tasted like burnt oil. It obviously was old oil and more “deep fried” than anything. Not the technique you’d expect for it. Tempura should be light and crispy, not heavy and oily.
- Samurai Roll was good. The seared tuna was mild and flavorful. Spicy tuna was pretty good.
- Hot sake was decent. Hard to mess that up.
- The salad was meh
- Miso soup was simple and flavorful. Rice was rice.

All in all, none of the hot food (outside of the miso) was good. They really need to execute fried dishes better. And tweak their sauces. Feels like this place caters to a specific crowd of folks who don’t know any better.

Also, the menu prices online are less than what the menu in the restaurant. Kind of misleading there.

Another negative is one of the waiters was using a spray cleaner to clean tables and was spraying it into the air. Like cmon, don’t you realize how that’ll just travel to another table and food? Plus the bus cart they have to take dishes is filthy and an eye sore.

Curious about the Rare Tea they have also inside the place, but otherwise we won’t be back.

Got my standard mixed tempura donburi. It’s a sizeable meal here but the tempura is just ok. Good tempura is a tricky and uncommon thing that needs a number of things to happen for that fluffy fried magic to happen. Two fried eggs came on top of the rice.

Came in a 8:20pm for a to go order and was refused service becuase they were already set up to close.... I understand i came in 25 minutes before close but as someone who also works food industry thats crazy. Change your hours to 8:20 so people don't go out of their way and rush. 25 minutes its plenty before for a Togo order. There was also one other couple there placing a to go order that they allowed. I come here often and this was extremely disappointing. Horrible customer service.

Had a take-out order for two sushi rolls, the Elk Grove and the Crazy California Roll, both were amazing! I was quite surprised how well it tasted and the texture was perfect! A common occurrence I seem to have with sushi is sometimes it is dry, but the rolls were perfectly moist!

Would 100% come back once I'm in Sacramento again!

We ordered edamame, but they were a bit undercooked. We prefer them softer, especially compared to other cafés where we’ve had edamame in Sacramento.

The sushi was quite tasty, however before we started eating, I went to wash my hands and was shocked by how dirty the restroom was. It completely ruined my appetite, and it took me a while to recover. Sorry,but I have to post it,maybe they will clean it.

Arrived at 8:24pm. Was told they stop serving food at 8:30pm. I showed them the time was before 8:30pm and it didn’t matter. What a terrible experience!

All around a great experience. Attentive and friendly staff. Creative dishes that paired really well with sake.

I can see this as a regular spot to dine in or grab a to go order the family.

Ambience is spot on - good lighting, decorative walls, and a perfect backdrop to take your social media shot.

I'll have to try their RareTea offering next time.

Do yourself a solid and go try it out.
